To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. BITTLE and (humans N. BITTLE, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Clarkston, in the county of .Asotin,State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin ironing-Boards; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it a pcrtains to make and use thesame.

This invention has relation to a new useful improvement in ironingboards.

The ob ect of our invention is to provide a new and simple ironing boardto be removnbly secured to the edge of a table b means of clampingstandard which looks t 1e board against longitudinal or lateraldisplacement, the board being provided with a detachable sleeve boardand a shelf adopted to hold the 'ron as will be described more fullyhereinafter.

in the accompanying drawirws we have shown in Figure 1 an elevation ofan ironing board embodying our invention disclosing the same as securedto the edge of the table. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged detached detail sectionol view of ironing board. Fig. 3 shows on end view of the ironingboard. Fig. 4 shows a top View of the ironing board, and Fig. is s topview of the sleeve board.

.ln carrying out the object of our invention and I we use a board 1provided at the base or flat end with a slot or opening 2. Skirting theedge of this slot are the two cleats 4, 4 which extend along the ironingboard 1 a considerable distance as is shown in Fig. 1 to form a bracefor said board. These cleats are perforated and provided with the bolt5. As shown in Fig. 1 the cleats 4'pr0ject beyond the end of thcironingboard. Pivotally held within the slot 2 and between the cleats 4 is thesupporting standard 6 pivotally carried by the pin 5 in the mannerdisclosed in Fig. 1. At its u per vided with t e neck 7 forming areduced exend this standard is pro tension adjacent to which are formedthe supporting shoulders 8. Secured to the u or end of the standard 6and immediate above the shoulders 8 is the shelf 1d to which shelf isfixed the support 13 adopted to receive the sod lIOIlS.

we use the sleeve board 11 provided with the two extending cleats 12these cleats being so positioned as to snugly engage the neck portion 7and fit between the shoulders S and the shelf 14.

The parts may be constructed in any de-, sired size.

To the under surface of the upper end of the standard 6 is secured thejaw 10. In securing the ironing board the edge of the table is pinchedbetween the cleats 4 and the jaw 10, this construction also preventingany laterrd displacement of the board as the flat end of the ironingboard rests against the edge of the table, and

Having thus described our said invention what we claim as new and desireto secure by U. S. Letters Patent is The combination with an ironingboard; of a standard connected to said board and extending thereobove, alaterally reduced upper end formed on said standard, shoulders at thejunction of the upper end and body of the standard, a shelf secured uponthe reduced upper end of the standard, said shelf forming a pair ofslots in connection with the shoulders, a sleeve board, cleats on saidsleeve board spaced to fit within the slots and support the sleeve boardby engagement between said shelf and the shoulders on the standard.

In testimony whereof, we nllix our signatures, in presence of twowitnesses.
